Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois admitted Arsenal were better than them in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final on Tuesday, despite trailing 3-0 but เล่นบาคาร่า UFABET เว็บตรง ค่าคอมสูง the 15-time European champions are determined to get revenge at the Santiago Bernabeu next week.

Madrid played their game at the Emirates Stadium, watching the first half and hoping to get a grip on the Gunners in the second half, but the home side scored twice from a direct free kick by Declan Rice and a counter-attack by Miguel Merino, leaving Los Blancos dazed. 

However, Courtois said they are not giving up and will learn from their mistakes to seek revenge next Wednesday. 

“Arsenal are a strong team, especially at home,” he told Mobi Star Sports.

“They press well, play well between the midfield and forward lines and create dangerous chances in abundance.”

“I think we were able to handle it in the first half, creating dangerous counter-attack opportunities with quick counter-attacks.” 

“But in the second half, we seemed to forget how to play good football, we couldn’t find players to pass the ball. I’m not saying we were nervous, we were just not calm enough when we had the ball.”

“They finally scored two goals with great free kicks and then added a third.” 

“I think we responded a bit slowly. After that, we hope to get revenge when we play as a home team.” 

Madrid have lost just their second of 13 Champions League knockout games against English sides (W8 D3).
